These kids for the last three years have not developed at all. Success the first two years under Haith? You kidding me? NIT berths are laughable. He may be able to recruit a few athletes but his coaching is terrible. How many times have you seen the Canes come out of a time out and actually score on a play the coach has set up? Not once this year that I have seen. Losses to two NY state schools and Cleveland State. Come on. That is reason in itself for his firing. Again those loses were before the loss of King. Feel bad for the kid but he was not going to bring us any wins in the ACC this year. Fact of the matter is we need to bring in a BIG NAME COACH. That is the only way we will attract All-American kids to the program. So far the new areana that we begged for recruiting purposes for years has been a bust just like the years under Haith and Clark. </p>Jerry Francis commented on 'Canes hoops: 'It is what it is''tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e200d834d9884a53ef2007-01-18T16:41:02Z2007-04-29T13:48:49ZJerry FrancisThis is going to be a tough year for the basketball team-too many injuries-too inconsistent play from our guards.I hope...<p>This is going to be a tough year for the basketball team-too many injuries-too inconsistent play from our guards.I hope AK gets that medical redshirt. If he comes back next year we&#39;ll have a good nucleus upfront with our recruit class to make some noise in the ACC.</p>Big E commented on 'Canes hoops: 'It is what it is''tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e200d8350ec7ef69e22007-01-18T11:31:00Z2007-04-29T13:42:21ZBig EYes, Canes Baby, there are UM fans that DO care about UM Basketball, and UM sports in general.

I still have faith in Haith, I just think it will take a little more time than some people may have expected. I for one had not idea that UM did not charter their flights. That has to be a pain. </p>bettyn commented on 'Canes hoops: 'It is what it is''tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e200d834d8da1553ef2007-01-17T19:19:41Z2007-04-29T12:57:28ZbettynThe problem is Dee, not Haith.

I think Coach Haith has done the best he could with extremely limited resources and an AD who is not only incompetent (Look at his ill-advised extensions to Clark and Coker.), but simply disinterested in the success of our football and basketball programs. Look at the problems Coach Shannon is having filling his staff. Paul Dee&#39;s heart lies in Gainesville, and we should send him back there as soon as possible.</p>Rob commented on 'Canes hoops: 'It is what it is''tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e200d8350df01569e22007-01-17T15:19:58Z2007-04-29T12:32:46ZRobMy opinion, the only way to change the basketball environment at the University is for the team to start winning....<p>My opinion, the only way to change the basketball environment at the University is for the team to start winning. Typical South Florida Fan is not really a of a team so much as a fan of winning. You will always have the die-hard minority, who resent bandwagon Miami fan, but the only way more fans show up consistently is if the team starts winning on a regular basis, and I&#39;m talking 20+ win seasons and in the top-5 of the ACC. Look at the other college and pro sports teams in the area and how much support they get when they have down years.</p>aquaman commented on 'Canes hoops: 'It is what it is''tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e200d834d88ea053ef2007-01-17T15:05:31Z2007-04-29T12:31:36ZaquamanThat story about Assberry sums up the reason why most people in Miami could careless about the bball team.

and both games were terrible. The only difference was that Miami won the Maryland game. I don&#39;t know if I can watch another game. The shooting is terrible, passing is horrendus, and defense is inconsistent. It just seem like a very undisciplined team. Can&#39;t wait for baseball to start. </p>Nick commented on 'Canes hoops: 'It is what it is''tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e200d834d8146a53ef2007-01-17T04:50:48Z2007-04-29T11:48:18ZNickI think stability is crucial to building a program.

At this point, I&#39;m not too concerned with the fact that Miami isn&#39;t a competitor in Haith&#39;s third year--the first two years we were. After losing Diaz and Hite, my expectations were zilch. And if you don&#39;t believe that losing a once-in-a-decade player like Diaz can have such an adverse effect on a program, as Skip Prosser about life in the ACC after Chris Paul...</p>Canes Baby! commented on 'Canes hoops: 'It is what it is''tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e200d834d8050e53ef2007-01-17T00:51:35Z2007-04-29T11:45:02ZCanes Baby!You can make all the money in the world but if you are not very good, no one is going...<p>You can make all the money in the world but if you are not very good, no one is going to watch you play. Baseball may not make money but they produce on the field year in and year out and thats what matters to me, not your check book. Baseball has had probably the most success of any sport at UM and thats what matters. If you think money matters than you need to take a hike pal! Wins and winning matters...plain and simple. Put a good product on the court and we will care, but what I saw on Sunday was terrible. They play better defense in the NBA than what I saw the other day. </p>Cane commented on 'Canes hoops: 'It is what it is''tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e200d8350d642e69e22007-01-16T23:32:32Z2007-04-29T11:45:17ZCaneThank you for writing about basketball along with other UM sports .... i enjoy hearing your point of view of...<p>Thank you for writing about basketball along with other UM sports .... i enjoy hearing your point of view of the basketball team ..... as for canes baby ...

What I saw Sunday was some of the most horrific display of defense by a basketball team I have ever seen. I mean Duke shoots 82% in the first half and finishes w/ 68%!!! Are you kidding me! We have a top 5 baseball team and recruiting season is in full swing. I think there are more important issues than this basketball team. </p>Marco commented on 'Canes hoops: 'It is what it is''tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e200d834d7f0a953ef2007-01-16T19:09:38Z2007-04-29T11:42:46ZMarcohttp://justcallmejuice.blogspot.comBeing stuck in Pa, I wonder what the crowds are like for non-Duke games?
